My Observations Over The Series Stranger Things

In 2017....I started season one  of Stranger Things....which I admit....it had a weird sci-fi/horror theme.  Some teenagers....living in a small town....uncover supernatural mysteries involving government experiments, a parallel dimension called the Upside Down, and creatures from it. 

Every episode had  a clash between innocence and corruption.  Yeah....there were constantly government conspiracies.

I got through season one and two....without any drop in interest.  

Season three?  Marginally kept my interest, and I thought season four was mostly goofy, and lacking (I thought they'd just end it).

Season five starting?  Well....it's not on my list to  watch.  Based on reports....there's some demon/monster rape scene, and one of the kids has a storyline where he's announced his super-power (being gay in some way), and somehow....they end the series on this note.

Back about seven months ago....I quit Netflix...mostly over the weird 'tone' of their products (I  started down this path after watching 'Leave The World Behind').  

Three Theories I Have

 1.  From the WW II era to the 1990s....I  suspect high schools and colleges always put out/produced...x-number of stupid  kids (say in the IQ of 65 to 85).  The system was simply geared to produce folks, and move on.

With my theory....I think in the 1990s....the high schools and colleges doubled-up on production numbers.

Within this theory....I think  we can blame 90-percent of our current issues on 50-odd million Americans....who are simply not capable of making logical decisions and their IQ levels level-off between 65 and 85. 

The question then becomes (if I'm correct)....will the effect continue to spiral, and eventually make half the nation stupid?

2.  On my hyped-up legend BS index theory....the 'Nazi-Bell' time-travel machine is the best story with almost zero facts.

3.  Minnesota, I think....once the FBI/DoJ finishes up their investigation....will have in the region of $100-Billion in fraud....with almost none of the money being retrieved.  

But why be done at that point....there's 49 other states.  Just guessing....more than $1-trillion since 2015....was defrauded.   

The 'Lost Migrate Kid' Story

 Around ten years ago here in Germany (in my region near Frankfurt)....a widower father (migrate who'd walked into Germany and got status) and his 10-year old son....went to a Frankfurt subway station...intending to go somewhere. While waiting....Dad didn't pay attention, and the kid got on the wrong car (opposite direction).  Gone.

Dad gets hyped-up...worried, and calls the police.  

German police go into a massive search.

For the sake of this story....I'll just say that Frankfurt's subway system is pretty vast, and in 40 minutes.....you could be 20 miles outside of town.

But there is one key thing that the Dad didn't know....in each station....there's at least a couple of cameras.

So about an hour into this search...one of the police goes to the camera center and then asks the Dad...where were you?  

Dad acts confused.  Eventually, they tell Dad....we can track the entry and exit....finding the kid in a matter of  minutes.

Dad finally confesses....the kid got on a regular train in Frankfurt (long-haul) to return to Belgium....where his family resides.

You see....Dad came to Germany with  fake story (being a widower), and have a kid.  He had a desire to have his own apartment.....not shared-out with five guys.  So he talked to a cousin....residing in Belgium, and borrowed his son for about 4 months...to make this scheme work.

Cops wrapped up the case in a matter of minutes.

The refugee handling agency?  Well....they didn't say much.  I'm guessing Dad got put into a new living situation....sharing a apartment with 5 guys. As for this being a popular trend, and hundreds of men in Germany...faking the widower status? No one said much, but you have to wonder about this 'gimmick'.

I always thought it'd make a great movie script.

The Five Types Of 'Normal' Delusional Disorders

Most folks survive with average or normal delusional disorders:

Persecutory: Believing you're being harmed, spied on, or conspired against.

Grandiose: Believing you have exceptional abilities, wealth, or fame.

Jealous: Believing your partner is unfaithful without evidence.

Erotomanic: Believing someone (often famous) is in love with you.

Somatic: Believing you have a physical defect or medical condition that doesn't exist.

My wife had a 'friend' who had the erotomanic-type....thinking her doctor was in love with her. This went on for about eight months....thinking some text messages were from him. About once every ten days...some text would arrive to her cellphone...suggesting something but not intense.  Eventually, the guy realized that he was  sending the text to the wrong number.   The gal in question? By 7th month, she was discussing the idea of dumping her husband and hanging out/marrying-up with the imaginary doctor.  She was probably two months away from opening up a divorce 'path'.

I Have These Three Odd Feelings

 1.  It just seems like everyone in Minnesota is involved or running some type of fed-government funding scam.  And we aren't talking about a measly $100,000 a year situation.

2.  I woke up today to realize delusional disorder (like TDS) is indeed considered a "cousin" of schizophrenia in the sense that both are psychotic disorders involving delusions, and delusional disorder is classified within the schizophrenia spectrum in diagnostic manuals like the DSM-5.

What delusional disorder lacks?  Well....hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and negative symptoms/motivation.  

3.  I am starting to suspect that most CNN journalists have a IQ of 80 or below.

I Have This Theory On Minneapolis Child-Care Centers

 You go to the fed-folks, and ask for a $500,000 grant to start a 'center', and then ask for a money-check for feeding a child-care center consumers....say for 300 kids....around $150 per month....per  kid...giving you $45,000.

Then you call up the drug-dealers and arrange a money laundering situation....using 300 ghost-kids (non-existent)....with fake parents saying they need care for each week, and the gov't covering $240,000 in some income situation.....monthly.

The $45k?  It pays for a couple of folks to just stand around and pretend to handle business.  

You wash the rest for the dealers.

Was Bush-Delusion-Syndrome Like Obama-Delusion-Syndrome And Trump-Delusion-Syndrom?

 I hate this discussion.

There's no doubt that in season one...we were headed into Bush-Delusion-Syndrome (BDS), and 9-11 reset the stage to some degree....with BDS in a marginal 'gear'....never able to take off except mostly in Germany.

OBS (Obama-Delusion-Syndrome) was never able to really take off much internationally, but did hit 'turbo' a few times within the US.

So here's the gut-punch....if we get VDS (Vance-Delusion-Syndrome), or RDS (Rubio-Delusion-Syndrome), or HDS (Harris-Delusion-Syndrome), or NDS (Newsom-Delusion-Syndrome)....it'll likely surpass TDS, and go full turbo.

I'm saying that roughly 50-percent of the nation is capable of suffering from DS of some type.

This to be around for a long while?  Yeah, I'm betting on it.
